Today's fascinating episode features singer, songwriter and guitarist, Miki Berenyi.
In 1987, Miki met Emma Anderson, a previous guest on Synthetic Dreams and formed the band, Lush. The group went on to release three critically acclaimed albums on legendary record label, 4AD.
The band officially split in 1996, but reformed for a series of well received live shows in 2016.
In 2018, Miki formed a new band called, Piroshka, which featured her partner Kevin McKillop (aka Moose) Micheal Conroy and former Elastica drummer, Justin Welch. The group released two albums on the always excellent Bella Union label.
Miki’s memoir Fingers Crossed, was published by Nine Eight Books In September 2022. It’s extremely well written, funny, and, in parts, very moving - well worth a read.
In recent years, Miki has been recording and playing shows as part of the Miki Berenyi Trio, which features Moose and guitarist Oliver Cherer.
We discuss, amongst other things, the making of their truly brilliant debut album, ‘Tripla’, which comes out on April 4th via Bella Union records.
